Bugs

I tend to forget the bugs that I stumble across while writing code. Sometimes I'll fix a bug and a few minutes later come across a similar issue and not remember how I fixed the previous one.

I'll try documenting the bugs as I find them and hopefully fix them also.

${var:-value}

Today I bumped into this syntax and didn't know what it meant.

${CARGO:-cargo}

I googled around for a bit and found this answer.

Basically this means if the environment variable CARGO is set to anything (except for an empty string), use it, otherwise use cargo.

"$@"

All the parameters passed to the script.

For the following script

./run awesome things

$@ is equal to awesome things.
